The only thing that would replace my Steam Deck LCD is a Steam Deck “2.0” with OLED, better battery, and mildly better performance on larger games. Until then, I’m using the OG every day, I love it so much.

jumping into a giant pit in Tears of the Kingdom, day one. sure it was theorized, but I somehow avoided those theories. I was amazed at the scale of that game, and how Nintendo somehow kept that out of marketing.

The LA REINA UPDATE is out now! A new free Rival joins the roster, alongside a new monthly event, stage skin, plus PLENTY of balance changes. Check out the Steam post for all the details!

While not nearly the most important thing going on, I wrote some jokes about why this year AI in video games is going to be the absolute most annoying debate. Even more annoying than it already is. Just deeply annoying.

update, I’m stupid and just needed to use the ResourceSaver

I totally understand people wanting to wait until beastieball is “1.0” to play it. I also don’t usually play early access titles. My main worry at this point is that the game is already so complete and universally beloved, by the time we call it 1.0 i might accidentally make it worse somehow…

This week’s fresh game dev hell involves creating a save system. I thought it’d be easy - serialize some booleans and objects, write to a file, read them later. Nested objects throw a wrench in it all, bloating my save time or making things too complex. I may need to write 20 custom serializers.

Who has made this 🤣

mario yoshi? yes. yoshi the deadlock dev? no cause infernus still exists

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

game development is just a series of writing json deserialization code with periodic breaks to do game design

ITS REAL

HOW CAN A CUBE PLAY GAMES IF GAMES ARE MADE OF TRIANGLES. WAKE UP.

BREAKING: Democratic Representative Ro Khanna has said: "Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced"

Vote out literally every Democrat senator when you can. The Republicans owned the shutdown until one hour ago. Now we all suffered for nothing.

Hey #indiedev #gamedev friends, does anyone have tips to overcome burnout and recapture motivation to work on your project?

The ultimate guide to not work on your game: 1. Work on a part you don't like working on 2. Feel unmotivated [Optional] 2b. Have an exhausted 9-to-5 to pay the bills 3. Find a videogame to play and sink your time into That's it! Great job, you can feel guilty now! #indiedev #gamedev #solodev

this post has made me a believer. languages and frameworks are TOO GOOD now. it’s too easy to do things the complex, suboptimal way that “feels” right. rather than being forced to find a creative solution that often works better.

Oh no what if Nintendo and The Pokémon Company sue for IP infringement

I think it's underappreciated that this site goes "we know you all came up with your own solution to things we don't have, and now that we have an official version we're working with your solution to combine the two"

It’s so important to not let yourself become bitter or disheartened or cynical. To not let the news of the world break your spirit. Because I’m already doing that. It’s my thing. Find your own, stop copying me.

please grandpa, no more feature tickets, please let me work slower

This is an amazing and heartwarming story, but one thing to note: Team Cherry having fun during dev does not rule out it being mismanaged. Mismanagement just means that a project is being managed poorly. This can often look like...

Nail in the coffin, I’m off Twitter. Keeping it just for random DMs.

I’ve officially been an indie #gamedev for one year! For my own sanity, I’d like to have a recap thread of everything I finished in that time. #indiesev #GodotEngine

@grubb.wtf you mention on KF Games Daily that you’re looking for engineers to help with the site. I’d be very interested, if you’d like to DM some details

Getting a job in games media seemed almost unattainable when I broke in back in 2005. In the years since, it’s become almost impossible and ultimately inadvisable. I can’t imagine trying to break in today. Independent is pretty much the only option now. Support your favorite creators directly.
